I preorderd the CE today but the guy didn't give me anything except my receipt. So do I have to go back and ask for the preorder box and key?

SoulHunter · Apr 25, 2005, 09:27 PM // 21:27

I preordered the CE today, I didn't receive a key or anything.

if you would like to participate in early access and receive your preorder item, you need the key from the preorder box.

SoulHunter · Apr 25, 2005, 09:35 PM // 21:35

So, should I go back to EBgames right now to get the preorder box and everything? *sigh* This is becoming a bother. I went to EB's Sunday and it was closed, and I already went today. I have to walk there and it takes me like 20 minutes.

Ted from Accounting · Apr 25, 2005, 10:36 PM // 22:36

Well, I recieved my box today. Yes, the retail box. I have the CD in my hand, as well as all the goodies with the preorder.

I'm having this same issue. I registered a new account and put in the activation code on my CD first, not seeing the preorder code in the small envelope that came seprate from the box (damn you Gamestop). According to the Guild Wars' website support page, there's an account page where you can add preorder/CE codes to your account, yet I have been unable to find the page. Where is this page?

NotoriousEvil · Apr 25, 2005, 11:25 PM // 23:25

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that.

Anyways. I was just wondering (because future shop is closed at this time) that if I got the pre-order box at one store location, that I can go to another future shop location, show the receipt/pre-order box to buy the full game. I'm asking because on their site it says they have it starting at 9am today, but it specifically excludes the location near my house by saying on that location doesn't have it yet. I'm aware that they'll probably have it on the 28th, but I'd rather just get it tomorrow at another location so I don't have to do it later on in the week.

Still need help...

Call them first. If they have a pre-order box left, then try to get it.
If not, you will have to wait till (28th)Thursday in order to pick up the game and get the key to play.

As far as store pre-order goes: Depends on the stores policy. Most will tell you to go to the store you origianly ordered from.

About one store having it available earlier than the 28th, be careful. Stores are required to sell product at the release date set by the distributer.If sold early the store can get themselves in trouble and fined.
If they are selling it earlier and it is the real game not the pre-order box, then by all means get it if it is more convenient that way for you.

Pantheras · Apr 26, 2005, 01:02 AM // 01:02

In order to get early access you will need the pre-order box and need to use the key provided in the box in it to get access 48 hours before people that didn't pre-order. Most retail versions of the game should arrive in stores on the 26th some a little earlier some later. On the 29th if you didn't get your retail version with your new key then you will be unable to play without the retail key.

yakateer · Apr 26, 2005, 03:34 AM // 03:34

Ok, I pre-ordered the game on the 24th or 25th (dont know exactly because it was around 12 oclock). Today (25th) I received the eb games email saying my item was sent. So my question is this: Do I receive my special preorder key with my game?

I do need the pre-order key to beable to play on the 27th right? Or will the retail key work for the 27th, and the only purpose the pre-order key serves is to negate the time shipping takes for the loyal pre-orderers?

Kirbie · Apr 26, 2005, 03:58 AM // 03:58

you will need pre-order key in order to play on 27th.
after 27th, you will need a retail key in order to continue.
hope it helps

Scaper-X · Apr 26, 2005, 04:06 AM // 04:06

I was under the impression that preorder keys would last for 48 hours rather than just 24.

However, I've been wrong in the past...

You are correct. You will be able to play on the 27th and 28th with a preorder key, but you will need a retail key to play beyond the 28th.

Yak - Go to Target and get a pre-order box for a buck and see if that works. If it dosent, you are out the price of a taco.

βlitzkrieg · Apr 26, 2005, 04:41 AM // 04:41

By "preorder key" you mean the beta key that is sent when you preorder right?

Mss Drizzt · Apr 26, 2005, 04:46 AM // 04:46

simple answer yes.

EB games is selling the pre-order box for $.01

βlitzkrieg · Apr 26, 2005, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Nope, that's cool, I've still got mine

NotoriousEvil · Apr 26, 2005, 05:02 AM // 05:02

Thanks for the reply.

I'd rather just wait then and by it when it comes to my location, to see if I can save the $10.
